Welcome back. So Wednesday, the 31st of December in the year of our Lord 2025. We're continuing on with this discussion. Ben Harwell, the floor is yours. And we're bringing Brad in also. Joe Allen's going to join us in talking about the year behind us. One thing to take and we'll get into more of this tomorrow, although I think tomorrow we're going to have hopefully a more general conversation. Everybody getting motivated and jacked up for just being the first of the year. And maybe not so content specific as we're doing today, but the lessons learned from this year, we're ending with an enormous fight that's actually going to propel us through the next couple of years. So, Ben, continue on with your observation, sir.

Okay.

Because your question at the beginning was why effectively have, let's use the word for it, is this betrayal? Why have we been betrayed in occupied Europe and to the, in the United States as well by our political class? What is the supernatural, the religious, the spiritual reason for that? Well, look, perhaps we'll handle the issue a little more tomorrow. But let me say this right, that the, the principle, as I see it, difference between Christianity and Islam, seeing as, you know, the, the new pope is going to put his hand on the Quran to make his oath. Let's, let's dig into this and say what's the difference? The difference is that Christianity is predicated.

Not the new, but not the new pope. Hang on, hang on, hang on. Not the new pope, the new mayor of New York, not the new pope.
C (1:44)
Did I say Pope? I'm sorry.
A (1:47)
You did most certainly. I know the left's going to be all over this. We accrue few rows of a lot. We're not that we're not there yet.

It's only a question of time, Steve. So look, so on the background of this, the difference is that Christianity is, is a religion predicated on interior conversion, whereas Islam is predicated on exterior confirm conformance, conforming oneself to the external requirements on behavior. And that's interesting, right, because I would suggest for that reason that Christianity is far more difficult religion to follow because it requires bending your will to that of God. So when you say why is it that we have been betrayed? Let's look at the Times article which you quoted Laura Loomis having a gushing approach to Mandani as insistence to put his hand on the Quran. They would never, the New York Times would never write in this way if Dave Bratt had said when he, when he was sworn in as a congressman his motivation for putting his hand on the Bible. Right. The. These other people, the secular left, are the people that drove out, I think it was in the 1980s via the Supreme Court, they drove out Christian prayer in schools because they said it was against the Constitution. Right. Let's not forget that the left hates Jesus Christ and his. And his. And his religion and his faith and his revelation. They hate the sanctity of Christianity and they will embrace anything that is antithetical towards that. So why have we been betrayed by our elites? Steve? It comes down to the queen of all the sins. It's pride that, remembering what I said about the difference between Christianity and Islam, proud people, because they are proud, do not like the idea of having to bend themselves to God in an interior disposition way, which is not necessary if you are Muslim. All you've got to do is do the exterior observance effectively. And that, I think, is why we've been betrayed in. It's a. It's a. It's a spiritual issue and it comes from the fact. Driven by the devil. If I, If I'm allowed to say that on the war room, encouraging the proud minds that do not want to bend themselves down and incline themselves down to the Prince of Peace. And that is the consequence. That's why we've been betrayed. And everything else that we see on the political sphere is simply a rationalization of. Of that refusal to submit to God via Jesus Christ. But they will submit, and they certainly will submit. They will end up submitting to a very different religion of that of. Of Islam, which of course is submission in and of itself. So Islam means.
